1. Any electricians off duty today?

This is a diagram of a lightning protection for power supply device/patent.

Acronyms correct?

TVS Transient-voltage suppressor
MOV Metal Oxide Varistor
GDT Gas Discharge Tube
Fu1-Fu3 main protection fuses
L1, L2, L3, L4 decoupling components
2. Acronyms?

PE = Protective Earth (equipment side earth)
Lin = live in
Lout = live out
Nin = neutral in
Nout = neutral out

Any issues or potential problems with such a circuit?

Will TVS fail catastrophically if high voltage (via lightning) lasts for even a few seconds?
3. Fracturing or Fire damage to MOVs?

1. MOVs are prone to catching fire in cases of extended current surges.

2. How many surges can they handle?

Seems that No one knows until failure occurs, right?
Case in China (multiple return lightning strokes)

" multipulse lightning surge is often the driver for the temperature rise since it causes energy to accumulate in the MOV due to its long thermal time constant..leading thermal damage & cracking"

incompliancemag.com/article/how-an…
5. Question about GDTs (Gas Discharge Tubes)

"GDTs can be damaged by extreme exposure to lightning. The typical failure mode is an increase in voltage at which the GDT conducts (or protects), or complete catastrophic failure for severe exposures"

6. Last Question

Will this device/patent definitely protect sensitive electronic devices against overvoltage transients in normal mains voltage and repeated nearby lightning strike overload/ short circuit events?

1. Ducks and DURC in China (2026)

This is GOF research via experimental adaptation increasing pathogenicity which is DURC because it involves a listed high-risk pathogen and increases virulence via serial passage in a key reservoir host. i.e. DUCKS!

mdpi.com/1999-4915/18/5…
2. Lethal Duck Killer

The Jiangsu researchers deliberately turned a relatively mild H5N6 avian influenza virus into a highly lethal killer of ducks through repeated serial passage in duck cells and live mallard ducks.
3. Good opportunity to boost my Video from 2013!

What originally caused zero deaths in mallards was rapidly adapted into a strain causing up to 100% mortality, massive viral replication in organs, and severe disease..

1. Here is yet another example of twisted biased agenda driven science

(Whether or not you are in favor of vaping)

theguardian.com/australia-news…

Clearly the pathetic excuses for science journalists at the Guardian & other MSM failed to fact check the paper:

sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reactio…
2. Prof Peter Shields, Professor of Medical Oncology at Ohio State University

“This paper does not add anything we do not already know, but selectively cites studies (and omits many others that refute the authors statements throughout) that leads the reader down the wrong path"
3. Prof Peter Shields (2)

“None of their mechanistic studies (selectively cited) has been validated as actual risk predictors in people, and the authors failure to recognize that leads to harmful conclusions."

Critical Examination of 3 Related Studies on SARS-CoV-2 Origins


My latest paper, a pleasantly vicious critique, reveals exactly how the zoonati clique try to bamboozle gullible journalists and scientists to drive their biased narrative of natural originresearchgate.net/publication/40…
2. This core interpretive move by the authors, from failure to detect a shift in selection pressure to claiming strong evidence of “no adaptation being required”, exemplifies the pernicious absence of evidence-based reasoning so characteristic of their tedious papers.
3. Yet, a small cluster of publications from a recurring group of agenda driven authors continues to exert disproportionate and malign influence on the debate over the origins of SARS-COV-2.

1. A truly stunning example of what is called an "ad hoc hypothesis", i.e. a secondary hypothesis added to a theory specifically to save it from being falsified when evidence for its original version is missing or contradictory.

(in this case, the long lost intermediate host)
2. They used a modeling framework called RELAX to claim that viruses like SARSCoV2 may already have the ability to infect humans whilst in their natural reservoir, meaning an intermediate host or long-term adaptation wouldn't leave the evolutionary footprints previously expected.
3. A classic post hoc justification for the absence of physical evidence by grant stuffed criminals, in short:

I couldn't find the evidence I said was required, so I've invented a theory that explains why the evidence I failed to find was never actually needed in the first place
